Owhango

This small village borders the Tongariro Forest Park. Many of its former mill houses are now holiday homes owned by city dwellers keen on the skiing, fishing, hunting, canoeing and tramping. Many young families have moved to the area and its school. Nearby Raurimu is also experiencing this popularity amongst young families.

Owhango has a monthly market day which runs the first Sunday of each month. For more information visit the Official Owhango website www.owhango.net.nz
